Terms & conditions

In preparing the Experimental Medicine Tool Kit, the MRC and their advisors have done their best to make sure that nothing recommended here is inconsistent with the law or regulatory guidelines.

They have done their best to:

identify the legal requirements, and

distinguish between legal requirements and other kinds of good practice.

Most of the advice in the Experimental Medicine Tool Kit has the status of good practice rather than legal requirement. Where legal requirements apply, users are guided to other tool kits or regulatory agency web sites for more information.

It is your responsibility to ensure your study complies with any relevant legislation and good practice requirements and to consult the any applicable authorities where you are uncertain. The MRC does not accept liability for failures to comply as a result of the use of the Experimental Medicine Tool Kit.

Any document or link may be changed without notice. The Tool Kit refers in good faith to a number of web sites and documents authored by other organisations. We accept no liability for the content of material published by others.

This Tool Kit expands on the good practice outlined in Academy of Medical Sciences report 'Microbial challenge studies of human volunteers'. Where appropriate you will be directed to other Tool Kits.
